[java-8] Modify property value of the objects in list using Java 8 streams

I have a list of Fruit objects in ArrayList and I want to modify fruitName to its plural name.

Refer the example:

@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@ToString
class Fruit {

    long id;
    String name;
    String country;
}

List<Fruit> fruits = Lists.newArrayList();
fruits.add(new Fruit(1L, "Apple", "India"));
fruits.add(new Fruit(2L, "Pineapple", "India"));
fruits.add(new Fruit(3L, "Kiwi", "New Zealand"));

Comparator<Option> byNameComparator = (e1, e2) -> e1.getName().compareToIgnoreCase(e2.getName());

fruits = fruits.stream().filter(fruit -> "India".equals(fruit.getCountry()))
            .sorted(byNameComparator).collect(Collectors.toList());

List<Fruit> fruitsWithPluralNames = Lists.newArrayList();
for (Fruit fruit : fruits) {
    fruit.setName(fruit.getName() + "s");
    fruitsWithPluralNames.add(fruit);
}

System.out.println(fruitsWithPluralNames);

// which prints [Fruit(id=1, name=Apples, country=India), Fruit(id=2, name=Pineapples, country=India), Fruit(id=3, name=Kiwis, country=New Zealand)]

Do we have any way to achieve same behavior using Java 8 streams ?

You can use peek to do that.

List<Fruit> newList = fruits.stream()
    .peek(f -> f.setName(f.getName() + "s"))
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

You can do it using streams map function like below, get result in new stream for further processing.

Stream<Fruit> newFruits = fruits.stream().map(fruit -> {fruit.name+="s"; return fruit;});
        newFruits.forEach(fruit->{
            System.out.println(fruit.name);
        });

just for modifying certain property from object collection you could directly use forEach with a collection as follows

collection.forEach(c -> c.setXyz(c.getXyz + "a"))

You can use just forEach. No stream at all:

fruits.forEach(fruit -> fruit.setName(fruit.getName() + "s"));
